It seems strange, though, to not actually be open during normal hours (early evening), and surely this must make it hard to build up a regular clientele if they don't know if it'll be open or not. I'm glad to hear the food is good, @Papa L - I've be…

Good to know, thank you @grenners.

Hi Sara, that's wonderful news! When are you thinking of holding the classes and sessions?
-
My building always had problems with post delivery - we'd either get next door's post, or the postie would get the numbers mixed up, and we'd get 26's post instead of our own (62). I noticed it'd get worse every time I reported it, though. And the o…

@Arkady Thank you! Sadly, I'm back to my old habits and spending far too little time in the area since I moved back. I visited on my first weekend back in London (I spent the first two months in Kentish Town) and I was agape at all the new businesse…

It's changed so much even in the 2.5 years I was away!

I moved back a couple of months ago after a few years up north, and am now living next door to my old flat...

Idiot mice indeed! Can you seal up the gaps to keep the mice (and other critters) out? There are humane traps you can get for any mice which sneak in when your cats' backs are turned, otherwise definitely store in plastic boxes as those mice wil…

Thank you, Joe, Mirandola and Miss Annie! I've already found someone for the flat - I need to come back and forth a bit, so I was planning to keep it on as digs, but someone's taken it for the next few months.
-
Thanks so much! And drat - I was in such a panic, I went to FP and got it sorted (for the price of a new phone). Thank you so much for offering!
-
I've been off the site for a few months and just checked in - I've already got plans for that evening, shame.

I run two Meetup groups, and certainly most members don't realise the costs charged to organisers. Either we can absorb the costs ourselves, or organisers end up charging anything from a nominal amount to exorbitant fees. I charge a nominal fee, w…

Well, it's also open to anyone else who's a musician, or who fancies ending the week with an evening of live music in, ahem, Greater Stroud Green.

Oh good I think comedians get a 10 minute slot but you don't have to take all that time if you don't want to. And it would be great to have some fellow forummers along to support you (Go Stella!)
-
Then you'd best get started on preparing some material
-
Have a few first, then reward yourself afterwards with more
-
Do give it a go - I can imagine you'd be great at it! And I'm always near the front so you'll have a friendly face

We get stand-up comedians too, they're very welcome! We had an older woman last week, she was very funny, very dry humour, and lots of jokes at her own expense; there was a younger comedian earlier last month who was very rusty but still appreciated…

Catching up after a week away - yes, there are strong arguments for modern theatres over historical ones, however the structural condition of the historical theatres is strictly monitored with regulations ensuring maintenance is carried out as neede…

The roof had only been inspected 3 months previously - it simply couldn't withstand the amount of rain that night. One incident in 112 years is pretty impressive, though.

Failing that, the Curious Night at the Apollo is an amazing show - one of the best productions London has seen in the last few years. If you want to see something special, get tickets for that once it reopens after the 4th.

Lots of sympathies - I had a similar problem when I lived in New Cross, two students moved into the flat above mine, and after that, we had to put up with the sound of them thundering up and down their hallways, loud music, and knocking over things …

Oasis: I think they were doing a fixer-upper and hoping to turn a quick profit is all. Oops.
